Perfect Explosion

I sure have been posting a lot here lately. Writing up 80 or so maneuvers for Thrash 2.0 is going to be interesting.

My forum monkey habit has been really bad lately, but I do come across cool stuff now and then. Two games by other people I want to call attention to:

Perfect 20: Levi from RPG.net has this stripped-down variant of d20 he created. It's not quite perfect (heh) but in many ways it's a thing of beauty.

Panty Explosion: I swear I am not making this up. I usually suck at titles, and this... this one just takes your breath away. It's an RPG about the fucked up lives of Japanese schoolgirls, some of whom have psychic powers, though it's rare for anything good to come out of using them. He's got a PDF of a playtest version he's showing around for comments. I want to give this a try some time.

You should try Panty Explosion. As it's creator I think I speak with authority when I say it's a lot of fun and you absolutly will enjoy it.

The PDF that's available now is the unedited first draft (complete with speeling and grammer errors). We're working on a finished draft that will be available for sale in print and as a PDF in August. Sometime before that we'll be launching a crude and simple Panty Explosion website with a lot more info.

Thanks for your interest and for mentioning the game. If you give it a try let me know what you think.
